youunderstand the concept of bigger pot bigger plants thast an easy one but you force flowering by using hps llights so all you really did was extend the veggie state three weeks dosnt really huirt the plant persay lets it get taller but as you said you used a house lights no bigggie plants wont get quite as big but take care of it like any other and youll get your ounce and maybe then some but if you put it into a bigger pot you give it the chance of getting bigger making up for lost time just a thought?

man im far to stoned to understand big massive paragraphs but i'l have a go.
yup bigger pot bigger plant, no brainer.
whats this about force flowering with a HPS?
its an auto flowering plant so it flower's by itself when it wants to, usually as soon as they reach a mature enough age, usually around 14days? from other white russians grows i have seen, 2 of them + this one has taken up to 30 days to show sex, im guessing just down to the genetics.
the veg state cant be extended on auto's?
after reading a few times i kinda get what your trying to say

Good work guys :~)
Nothing better than a bit of wrong end of the stick whilst stoned :~)
I like it.
Thanks for the comments, I have used pretty big pots for a lowlife strain, they recommend 5 Ltr/1 Gallon pots but I have used 10L/2 gallon pots, when I threw the suspected male out, the root formation was amazing, they had only been in the pots for a week, but the roots were everywhere.
Moose, it is my second grow, thanks for asking, my first was The Church from the Greenhouse Seed Co. Those plants were huge though, I vegged for 7 weeks then flowered for 11 weeks, 18 weeks is a long time to wait for a smoke :~(
I only had three plants and they look up the whole of the 1m x 1m base in my tent, two were about 4 foot high & one just over 5 foot. I had to rotate them on a daily basis as they were so bushy which became quite a chore so thought I would opt for lowlifes this time round.
Since putting them under HPS the size difference has been amazing.
Have read mixed reviews on Lowlife but 10 weeks v 18 weeks is a risk I thought I should take?!?
Fyfe, cheers mate, well chuffed with the progress, I noticed that your Lowryders changed quiet a bit between weeks 4-5.
How far off are they?

yeh your right theyre a LITTLE small for 3 weeks. Keep them goin man, and theyll catch up. If your temps are around 82 or above on average, maybe you should go order yourself some EXCELLOFIZZ co2 pucks (search them on google), and then move your lights a little closer so its a little warmer in there. n then put them pucks to good use. itll help your plants pack on some girth before flowering onsets, and keep using them throughout the grow (for as long as they last, lol you can use 1/2 a puck at a time if you wanna stretch them out for as long as you can), to help them pack on the bulk throughout flowering too. Your doin great so far, and the plants will make up for lost time.
good luck man, keep up the good work

Thanks King,
I have searched Excellofizz & it is £4/$8 for 1 tab, where as other co2 tabs are available for £9/$18 for 50 tabs?
Is it worth the extra?
I also notice that you add one tab to 200 Ltrs of water and that co2 is only bonded for 6 hours, I only use 1 ltr of water per plant so correct me if I am wrong, but a tablet if broken into little bits & used sparingly with each water would last for ages? Or am I getting confussed?

in the last 2 weeks my plants have changed so much mate, when they started flowering they have stopped growning up the way all ogether and started focusing on the buds.
they will be 7 weeks this coming monday, they should be ready in 2 weeks time but looking at them they need maybe another 3 at least.
loving growing them though, its so effortless.

Thats not bad they won't die as long as you have the proper nutes you'll be fine.

O, i didnt know of any pure co2 tabs available other than Excellofizz, lol. I spent 50 bucks on 15 pucks yeh, but its worth it in my book. BUT, if i can get them cheaper next time around, ill fuckin thank you n rep the everlovin shit outta you for the reference, lol. Now, all you have to do with the tabs im talkin about, is put them into 2 oz of water, and they last for 8 hours now, theyre bigger than they were a few months ago, they improved the design due to complaints about them not lasting long enough. N breaking them in half and using half the water would still allow them to release over an 8 hour period, and using them 2-3 times a week, would be all you would need to help your babies pack on girth if your growspace is nice n hot, like i said around 85+ degrees ideally.
Another option is to pick up that Purple Maxx from Humboldt, and Gravity aswell. Use the Purp Maxx throughout flowering for increased Calyx production, Tighter Calyx formations, and immensley increased resin production too. Gravity packs on the pounds in the last 3 weeks of your grow before the chop. I couldnt tell you from experience how all of these work, as ive just recieved them in the mail n will start using everything starting this sunday when i next feed
No matter what you end up doin bro, your shit is gonna end up purdy, so just keep doin what your doin n the Autos will take care of themselves im sure

Will send you a link a little later
I take it that you drop your tabs in a bucket and then
place the bucket into your growroom?
My temps are around 80 degs with lights on, should I increase
this to 85+ to get the best results?
The guy in my local hydro store said to put a qtr of a
tab into 10 ltrs of water and water the plants directly with
the co2'd water?
